BOSTITCH Stapler, Outward Clinch, Stapling Tacker 14MM Max (T6-8OC2)

STCR50191/2-1M These are the staples you will need, don’t fall for the suggested “often purchased together”, like I did.I purchased this stapler to use with duct board for a single job. I never used duct board before, never used an outward stapler . I purchased the wrong staples, no place locally carried them and by the time I got the correct ones I had finished the job without.

Only stapler I could find for the outward stitch bow-tie staples. Just what I needed to cover my ducts in new insulation. Works as intended. You can trust Bostitch. As others have stated make sure it's the T6-8OC2 and not the T6-8.

I had an old Bostitch for nearly 15 years. It worked so well that there was no need to get a different brand. I am pleased with the construction and ease of use for this stapler. Other guys on the jobsite have different brands and I have tried them, but I like the Bostitch the best.

I found it very challenging when ordering to know whether I was getting the right product or not. To clarify, you want model T6-8OC2. You do not want model T6-8. That model is not an outward clinch stapler. Here's why it's confusing - the two products look EXACTLY alike. On one side of the stapler they even both just say 'T6'. Why make it so hard for the consumer? I received the correct stapler. In my case, as seen in the picture, it clearly has the correct model number listed on one side, and the box had the correct model number too. STCR5019 staples do work with this model. It worked ok for stapling some HVAC insulation, although some of the staples came loose immediately afterwards. Perhaps the staples I used were not long enough.

Didn't try it yet, but it came in open box and it sold as new one, also box is ripped. Usually open box are 50% off.

Made to last and works well

if you need to staple insulation seams, then this is what you need

I sent back the Arrow version. It broke on the first row of staples I put into it. The adjustment grub screw stripped out of the cheap beer can metal they cut threads in. The Bostich has no adjustment, it just works. I am on my second box of staples (you need their special staples for this gun). The staples I am shooting from this gun are much thicker than the staples I am pulling from my 35 year old duct wrap though. Gets the job done stapling fiberglass duct wrap back onto the ducts after opening them up, taping them, putting mastic on the tape, closing them back, putting mastic on the seam, wraping the old stuff in new silver bubble wrap, taping and putting mastic on. We can feel the difference inside with heat and AC. Buy this on if you are airsealing your house. It just works great.
